Here's the rundown on the improvements we've made to the Garage Series squat rack with pull-up bar!
The Garage Series Squat Rack with Pull-Up Bar combines durability, stability, and space efficiency to provide the perfect entry level rack for home gyms. The rack has a 4'x4' footprint, offering maximum functionality without taking up too much space.
The garage series squat rack features 2" x 3" powder-coated, 12-gauge steel uprights designed for stability when performing squats and pull-ups. The enhanced uprights also have a weight capacity of 600lbs.
The 5/8" holes are also compatible with all 5/8" rack attachments, so you can customize this rack with spotter arms, a dip station, additional weight storage pins, hang a hammock off it... you get the point! The rack also comes with a pair of J-cups made with an outer layer of UHMW plastic to protect your bar's finish when racking the weight.
The 5.5-inch long weight horns on the back side of the rack offer rock-solid stability and convenient plate storage.
The pull-up bar has a 1.25" diameter and has multiple height options to accommodate different heights and workout preferences. At it's tallest setting, the pull-up bar hangs 83" off the ground, giving you plenty of space to get full extension at the bottom of a pull-up without touching your feet on the ground.
Enhanced Uprights: The uprights are everything for a garage gym rack. Knowing this, we used heavier gauge steel for improved stability.
Single Piece Upright: One solid piece of continuous steel that an ironworker would lust after.
Shorter Uprights: We got tired of the Garage Series bumping its head. We shortened it so that it comfortably clears average garage ceiling heights. Who doesn't say "ouch" when you see a semi with the trailer roof accordioned against an overpass? Most of the competition has a really bad bruise on their forehead.
Hole Spacing: We narrowed up the spacing in the bench press zone, so the Garage Series now abides with Westside spacing (1" from hole center to hole center) dude. We also added low holes, beneath the Westside spacing for rack pulls and other options.
Hole Placement: We didn't want to cut off our tall customers. So even though we shortened the uprights, we kept high holes for the vertically gifted. If you want to use a landmine on this rack, the bottom hole is 16" from the ground.
Hole Size: 5/8" holes that the natives were restless for.
Pull-up Bar: We added a pull-up bar with a super popular design. Feels as secure as the hand railing in a rollercoaster when you're about to drop. Has familiar, standard pull-up bar diameter. Features a matte black, powder coat finish that endures abuse and boasts a subtle gritty feel, making for comfy gription. Easy to do standard pull-ups or kipping pull-ups on. Weight capacity on the pull up bar is 450lb. Adjustable pull-up bar mount has highest height of 82 1/4" and lowest height of 70 1/4".
J-cups: Ain't nobody got time for the slew of inferior J-cups out there. We built ours to the same standard as our heavy duty commercial J-cups. We put a plastic UHMW coating on the front and top of the J-cups that protects both your barbell and the J-cups.
Compact Profile and Footprint: We found the sweet spot, Venn diagram intersection of small and stable. This may have involved some evil mathematical formula and three-dimensional sorcery. Please don't ask. Honestly, we used less steel on the bottom, yet still hit payday between maximizing stability and providing a lean footprint and profile.
Weight Pegs: Since we used less steel to provide that slim and trim footprint, we didn't want to shoot the Garage Series in the foot. So we added a couple of pins for added weight should you want.
2" x 3" Uprights: We went to the industry standard for 2 reasons. 2" x 3" uprights create more stability and compatibility. You can use all our accessories (spotter arms, dip stations, J cups, etc.) on the Garage Series. Yes, it's also compatible with our competitors' accessories as well.
Footprint Tabs: Although it's as sturdy as a statue coming out of the box, we added the option to bolt it into the floor or a platform underneath (plywood for example).
Easy Assembly: You can put this bad boy together in under an hour, sometimes as fast as 45 minutes. One person can do it, but we recommend 2.
Easier to Move: Doesn't seem much heavier than an old folding table you've carried.
FREE Shipping: You know you want it.

Built in Weight Pegs to Keep You Grounded
As Peter says, "You can spend more but you can NOT spend less and get a rack that is a joy to lift on today and 10 years from today." It's on record, so go ahead and hold him to it. You know what you're going to say after a few months of lifting on this rack? "This is my squat rack. There are many like it, but this one is MINE. My squat rack is my best friend. It is my Garage Series."
Squat Rack to Upgrade Your Home Gym?
The "end state" of the Olympic lifts is overhead or at the shoulder. Many lifters drop the weights from overhead. Since bumper plates are almost entirely rubber, being dumped from the shoulder or overhead will not damage the weights, bar, floor, bystanders, the lifter, etc... Bumper plates are also great for garage gym use- the rubber construction is much quieter than traditional metal construction.

We don't recommend it unless the rack has been installed.
It's a type of upright drilling that places holes close together in the bench press area, allowing for very granular control of bar placement. Westside hole spacing means that there is 1" from hole center to hole center.
Unfortunately, no, those pegs are too big for this squat rack.
45 inches
Yes that dip station will work on this rack!
We don't recommend doing those pull ups, unless you have bolted the rack to the floor. While you can put weight on the weight horns to hold it down, this may not be a good option for most people. We recommend bolting the rack down if you plan on doing movements like this.
Mega Squat Power Up
You're Hereby Granted Squatter's Rights
You have the right to...own a reliable and durable squat rack.
Ok, we're not reading you your Miranda Rights after busting you for squatting, but you're going to feel criminal lifting on our Garage Series squat rack just the same. We get a stream of guilt-ridden admissions from happy Garage Series owners for feeling like they stole it.
Jokes aside, the truth is you have an unalienable right to own a squat rack that gifts your lift, offering you a seamless experience.
You know when you buy coach and you get a surprise upgrade to first class? You get to kick off your shoes, have a drink handed to you, recline in a cushy seat, and you break into a Cheshire grin, enjoying life leveling up. Your lifting just got upgraded too.
That's what we've done with the Garage Series squat rack with pull-up bar. We took years of customer feedback from our commercial squat rack & pull-up bar, brought it to the Fringe forge and applied it. We developed the Garage Series and crafted it into our go-to garage squat rack, like that trusty reliever you can call on in the 9th to get those tough outs.
You're On the Right Rack
We poured double the usual amount of craftsmanship, work, and pride that's emblematic of our products into the Garage Series. Sure, you can buy more expensive racks that serve you better. However, you're taking a healthy risk going lower.

Overall a great product for the price. Easy to assemble even with just one person. I bought the dip bar and mount it on the inside when doing dips, but there is definitely some wobble but it's tolerable. It's enough to make me remove the j-hooks however because otherwise they tend to rattle like crazy.
Several reviews mentioned the rack was really wide which can make it harder to re-rack since you have to be very precise. That was a concern for me as well, but it looks like they might have adjusted the width of the rack to be a bit narrower based on feedback. I think it's perfect and I haven't had any issues reracking. Width between the uprights is about 41-1/8" and overall width including uprights is 45-1/8". See my picture showing it with a Fringe Wonder Bar. There's a little over 3" of clearance on both sides between the collar and upright if the barbell is centered.
A few reviews also mentioned the uprights were a 2 piece construction but that must be for an older iteration of the product. This has 6 solid sections: 2 bottom rails, 2 uprights, 1 crossmember at the base, and 1 pullup bar which reinforces the rigidity of the uprights.
Small suggestions: would have loved an optional wheel attachment (like Rogue has with their squat rack) for the option of moving this around and slightly taller weight pegs in the back to store more plates. Currently each side is around 5-3/4" and can accommodate 2 45s or a 45, 25, 10.
This is a high quality rack at a great price. It has a little bit of side-to-side movement on the pull-up bar, but is more than sturdy. It’s easy to assemble and easy to move. I am extremely happy with this squat rack.
Love the look and feel of this rack. It's heavy duty and well constructed. Thick walls on the beams with perfect drilling.
It's a little wide for my preference - sometimes I want to rack a front squat or **** quickly, where I'm not perfectly centered, which leads to banging the bar collars on the J-hooks sometimes. It would be nice for it to be 6 inches narrower both to avoid that crashing and to give me any option to take ****** pulls off the hooks rather than the floor.
But look, you can load this thing up and train hard in the garage, which is exactly the point. So buy it and get after it.
This has been an amazing addition to my home gym -- though it's more accurate to say it's the new core of my home gym! Absolutely great set-up, and has made powerlifting at home so much better.
Loving my new rack. Perfect fit in a tight space in my garage and more than sturdy enough for the non-powerlifters among us. As a tall man, it's SO nice to be able to do pull ups somewhere besides my doorway.
Q:Can I purchase additional 2x3 uprights and hardware directly from Fringe to convert this to a half rack? Love the rack, I would also love to expand it for easier to access plate storage with my current setup and space constraints.

Q:I'm looking for a rack that I take outside when the weather is nice. This looks like it could be a perfect rack for that. I'm not lifting more than 400 lbs for now.
I have a bunch of attachments for an existing Titan T-3 rack, which looks to be the same dimensions as this squat stand. Curious to know will my Titan T-3 attachments work on this squat stand?
Thank you!

A:Hi Wyatt,
Yes, the Garage Series Squat Rack with Pull-Up Bar allows you to adjust the pull-up bar to a lower position. The pull-up bar can be set at various heights, with the lowest setting at 70¼ inches from the ground. This adjustability ensures that users of different heights can perform pull-ups comfortably.

Q:Ok to hook up a lat pulley system to the pull-up bar?
I see the overall depth is 47". What is the depth dimension from the back of the unit to the vertical post?

A:Hi Stacey,
You can hook up a lat pulley system to the pull-up bar, but you’ll need to ensure that the system is compatible with the rack and that it won’t interfere with the pull-up function. It’s important to check the attachment points and the cable travel to ensure smooth operation.
For the depth dimension, from the back of the unit to the vertical post is 24 inches.
